Returning from the abyss

Chapter 379
The grenade and laser blasted the logging machine that had just appeared at the door into pieces. Cheng Wuling took out a notebook from the desk in the room, and didn't care about the "servant" who appeared at the door.

"Have we survived the first stage?"

"You're a little optimistic, Zhongfu." Si Fangle patted the miniature submachine gun in his hand, and removed a spent energy battery from it, "The combat power of this thing is similar to those exiled killers before, and it's far less than that of Cheng Cheng. The first stage standard of Wuling division."

"Hey, our current strength is among the top three in all the teams in this garden, right? Isn't that a waste?" Zhongfu looked at Cheng Wuling, "How about Miss Cheng give me a specific example?"

"Yes." Cheng Wuling opened the notebook while answering Zhongfu's question, "For example, when any crisis occurs, we can locate the position of the leader. If we are within the same garden, within 20 seconds You can arrive at the predetermined location to launch an attack, which is almost the first stage."

"You are ambitious enough."

"It's not that I'm ambitious, but that you're a bit bloated." Cheng Wuling read the book and replied correctly, "Although you modestly say that you are the top three, you should think in your heart that our strength is currently No. 1 among everyone. We did a scene together, and I know you well."

"Yeah... If it weren't for the pleasure of working with you, I wouldn't have surrendered right away, right? So what is the real situation? You squandered all the stars you earned, and you have to gain something, right? ?"

"Your estimate is correct. You can be more accurate. We are the third." Cheng Wuling closed the book, put it back on the desk, and glanced at the bookshelf.

"Could there be any background behind these documents? They arranged this place, so they just made up something out of nothing?"

"I know more about making things up than you do, but the difficulty of making up so many books is much more difficult than finding some useless and old historical materials."

"Ha, it's useless... what did you say?"

Cheng Wuling threw the book in his hand, Zhongfu caught it quickly, and opened it.

"How does this help us?" he asked, turning the pages, and it was obvious that he was reading very fast, quite different from the lazy tone of his mouth.

"To sum up the current situation from history. I am not very interested in how the world has developed, but I would like to understand the small social structure in this garden, which will help us deal with others in the future."

"Did I hear you right? Miss Cheng wants to take the initiative to find teammates?"

"You think too much, Cheng Wuling thinks more about how to easily get rid of all the guys who get in the way." Si Fang Le obviously knows her better than Zhong Fu.

"I don't recommend that you deify me to this extent. After all, I am just an ordinary person. There will always be people stronger than me. For example, in this scene, two teams have clearly mastered stronger power than us .”

"Isn't it because you set aside a part of the space to improve your strength to collect intelligence?" Si Fangle frowned, "Your brother blows you up to the sky and into the earth to be omnipotent."

"Do you really believe what he said? If it were true, I wouldn't be here."

"Tsk, I thought you had more reactions." Si Fang Le smiled helplessly, "Okay, give us a result, you know I don't like to think much when I have a brain that is cheated by my side."

"The people earning income in the garden should have simulated a certain degree of external social conditions. After all, from the information we have obtained, the mastermind is not so boring as to use this battle royale as entertainment. More importantly, it should be a compound nature. experiment. Therefore, this includes the people in the alleys, streets, city walls, and pavilions."

"We have known this for a long time, so what?" Zhongfu said.

"So there should be people from [Mastermind] too." Cheng Wuling glanced at him, "You should have read that book, the establishment of this place was not a peaceful process, after several political changes and Terrible natural disasters, and even people's life style and ideology have changed several times. It can be said that the civilization here at that time is completely different from the current group of people. The highly divided social hierarchy is even in a slightly developed society. It is also uncommon, and the feudal period, which lasted for a long time in history, still has channels such as the imperial examination for people to break through their own class, but this kind of opportunity does not exist here."

"Not necessarily, Weixiang and... Ha, I understand." Just as Zhongfu was about to refute, he immediately understood what Cheng Wuling was trying to say.

"The flow of people in the four peripheral areas is meaningless, because the social forms of the peripheral can be used for reference in various histories, but the main brain is different."

Cheng Wuling pointed to the book in Zhongfu's hand.

"Although the mastermind has made many announcements about admission standards and admission systems, there is actually no record of 'immigration' into the mastermind through formal channels."

The word she used made Zhongfu and Si Fangle think for a while.

"there's only us?"

"But why?"

The two asked different questions.

"There are many reasons, and the simplest reason is that the main brain does not need it." Cheng Wuling sighed, "Continuing to inquire into the depths will not help us much. I just think that the main brain is controlling something. This complex experiment should also include their own variables."

"Should we watch out for the Mastermind?"

"We have to carry out our own investigation work. We can't jump out of the life-and-death struggle of this battle royale, but at least the perspective must jump out."

==================
Lu Ning opened the door of this room before the machine caught up with her. If you want to call the building at the end of the courtyard, "Snowman" is probably the most suitable. There are two connected circular rooms, one large and one small, plus a The triangular compartment looks like this.However, Lu Ning didn't have time to worry about the shape of the room. She stepped into the room, and at the same time, a slender woman in a red dress and a red veil appeared beside her.

"Matchmaker".

The monster with such a beautiful name is very similar to the "net bride" type of monster, the only difference is that it weaves webs and pulls strings, and it is actually a very dangerous monster.It's just that the monsters coming out of the monster box cannot attack, even if the opponent is a robot.

A large number of silk threads spewed out from the back of the woman in red. They are transparent and would be completely invisible if the light was not refracted due to the accumulation of quantity. These silk threads quickly wrapped around the furnishings in the house. After completing the arrangement, I immediately walked into the inner room to continue the arrangement.

But two or three seconds later, the logging machine crashed into the door with a flamethrower.Unlike the exile killer, this thing has the function of opening the door automatically, and no one lured it away for Lu Ning, so it really chased into the room, and turned on the spray gun as soon as it entered the room!

bear~
The raging fire engulfed a large area of ​​the room in an instant, Lu Ning kicked up the table to block it for a while, and followed into the room inside.

"Not stupid."

Even if the matchmaker's line is transparent, it still has a solid body, and basically has no fire resistance. After such a fire, the line that has just been laid will immediately become messy, and it will not work as a trap at all.

The robot turned its body and locked onto Lu Ning again.

"Can't ordinary bunkers block it? After all, it's a machine..." Lu Ning glanced from the room, and the robot had already rushed up on the flames.

"But being able to identify traps doesn't necessarily mean identifying capabilities."

Bang!
There was a snapping sound, and the robot's mechanical arm holding the nail gun suddenly snapped back when it was charging, and then broke at the rusted part.And the sudden force also caused the robot to twist sideways a little, failing to rush through the not-too-wide door, but hitting the wall directly.

"Matchmaker!"

"Silk" surged out from the room, coiled towards its body while the impact of the robot was not stable, the robot immediately threw out the flamethrower and began to resist, but at this moment, Lu Ning leaned out from behind the door hand.

It's a narrow enough place, so narrow that those big saw blades struggle to exert their power, the nail gun is cut off, the flamethrower meets the matchmaker's silk, and the rope gun can't be used.

As a result, Lu Ning, who was squatting, easily touched the chassis of the logging machine.

The ferocious and rusty robot suddenly disappeared into the room, leaving only the flames still spreading, but after burning the combustibles outside, there was no more fuel on the metal walls and ground, and it gradually became smaller.

Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the statistics——

"So fast?"

After coping with the first crisis, the survivors in the garden obviously had a way to deal with these monsters. It didn't take long before ten logging machines had been wiped out, and one of the leaders had been dealt with.

"Sure enough, not only one person is making progress in the world."

There was no other exit in the room, so Lu Ning had to wait in the room until the flames burned out.She glanced at the matchmaker who was obediently sitting aside after the task was over, thinking about how to arrange this monster.

The monster box is just a summoning tool, but it doesn't care about providing a place for the monster.The three monsters that Lu Ning chose before, Yinlou, Baishu, and Huojian are all small and easy to hide, and they are all on her now, but Matchmaker is really the same size as a human being, or even a solid body.

Lu Ning tried to get the matchmaker to talk to herself, but failed. The monster would obey orders, but couldn't communicate.

After thinking about it, she handed her heat source amplifier to the matchmaker. After the other party took it, she put it on her head immediately. Although it seemed strange to cover it with a veil, the matchmaker could indeed use it.

"I see……"

At this time, the fire outside had been extinguished. Lu Ning thought for a while, gave the phantom projection lamp to the matchmaker, retrieved the heat source amplifier, and gave her an order.

The silk thread was released from behind the matchmaker, and she quickly used the silk thread to pull it out through the door. A large amount of snow-white silk thread was pulled out, and quickly wrapped her body into the same color as the snow outside, and quickly disappeared.

Even if the fighting ability is cut off, monsters still have a lot of means, as long as you can give enough detailed orders.

Lu Ning turned her head and glanced at the innermost room. A two-star machine was in the middle of a pile of sundries, which was still conspicuous. She walked over and scanned it. This task can be accepted.

[Task Level [-]: Before the second crisis, participate in the complete meteorological unlocking of a garden. 】

This mission is similar to the four-star mission that Lu Ning got before, but the difficulty is a little lower. The difference probably lies in the level of "participation in the middle" and "last blow".

After receiving the task, Lu Ning walked out of the room.

The battle outside was almost coming to an end. Naim took over from Cheron County, and after a few head-to-head fights with the logging machinery, he found that he really couldn't beat it, so he directly used his own props-moving barriers.

The logging machine was pressed against the wall by the invisible wall that suddenly appeared. The metal body was greatly damaged in the extrusion, and it was gradually stopping its activities.On the side of Nimorphes, it was Nimorphes who took advantage of the blocking of the tower shield to find an opportunity to cut off the most threatening saw blade and saw disk, and then Dougrey took the opportunity to put it into the portable pocket.

"Servant" is still not considered difficult.

When Lu Ning walked back to Polaris' room, the machine that was pressed against the wall also stopped moving, and it should have been completely destroyed.But as the activities stopped, a lot of rust spots began to appear on the machine, and even the black skin began to peel off. The speed of the rust was so fast that people had no time to check it, and the whole machine became a pile of scrap iron .

"Is this considered dead?" Maoyou poked his head out from the door.

"You..." Lu Ning glanced at Maoyou, but said nothing.

Cheron County looked towards Nimorphes, and Nimorphes also looked over.

"This is your friend? Very good." Nimorphos nodded, "It seems that now is not a good time to continue the battle we just fought."

"I don't think so." Cheron County raised his ritual sword and pointed at Nimorpheus and said, "Now we can just get rid of you in one fell swoop."

Nemorpheus laughed.

"Get rid of us in one fell swoop? Maybe someone is qualified to say this, but unfortunately you can't! The noble young master from the pavilion, let me teach you another mercenary rule—preserve your strength and spy out the dark."

He raised his hand, and a small purple box fell into his palm.

"It's a monster box! Be careful——" Naim immediately blocked the front, but Nimorphos obviously didn't intend to launch an attack. A cyan little monster with bat wings flew out of the box, and it opened its mouth. There was a scream, and then everyone's eyes were dark.

It's night devil.

Lu Ning naturally understands that, opposite to the sound louse, the Night Demon possesses the special ability to swallow light, which makes it dark night wherever it goes.The support provided by the monster box is so diverse, she immediately put on the heat source amplifier and took a look.

Nimophis was able to know the location of the night devil. Under the leadership of the night devil, he and three mercenaries walked into the branch corridor through the glass door, and then quickly left the limit distance of the amplifier.About 30 seconds after they left, the light slowly returned to the courtyard.

"Just now...huh, I knew we would have changed that too." Naim said cursingly, "Let them run away."

"It doesn't matter, at least we gave them some losses. Most importantly, since Nimorphes changed the monster box, he is far away from the high level again."

Cheron County is satisfied with this.
